NEW: #cyclospora tainted lettuce shipped to #Walmart & Sysco, the U.S.’s largest food distributor & still being sent out up until Thursday July 16, 2026
Late on July 17, 2026 #TaylorFarms quietly posted an official recall notice
We now know that the parasite-linked iceberg lettuce was shipped to Walmart & food distributors in 27 (!) states

paris martineau @paris.nyc Consumer Reports writes : The way this recall has been handled so far is absolutely bizarre. Instead of listing brand names, Taylor Farm used internal abbreviations for all the products impacted I was able to get Walmart and Sysco to confirm their products were impacted, but the lack of details is a nightmare for consumers https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-recalls/taylor-farms-pulls-mexican-lettuce-linked-to-cyclospora-para-a7871344748/

@spocko@mastodon.online we are doing such a great job keeping the public safe. Good grief. Soon, the only safe thing to eat will be crayons.
